Abstract

A bullet resistant wall system including ballistic paver blocks constructed, configured, and arranged to form a wall having at least two adjacent individual layers. The at least two adjacent individual layers include multiple adjacent rows of the ballistic paver blocks. The ballistic paver blocks are formed from wet ballistic concrete prepared without an addition of a preformed foam or wet ballistic concrete prepared without an addition of a stabilizing agent.

Abstract

This disclosure is directed to an improved ballistic concrete mixture which is operable to be cast in many forms such as blocks. The improved ballistic concrete mixture provides an effective barrier for stopping projectiles with a kinetic energy of between about 1.0 kJ (750 foot-pounds) and 20.3 kJ (15,000 foot-pounds) in between about 3 inches (about 7.62 cm) and 10 inches (about 25.4 cm) such as a fifty-caliber round. The improved ballistic concrete mixture is useful in the erecting of new structures which need ballistics protection or for retrofitting existing structures with ballistics protection.
